Banking industries are growing day by day and most customers prefer to use online banking platforms rather than relying on paper-based transactions and physical presence in banks. On the other hand, banks are usually the target of cyber threats especially DDoS and network layer 7 attacks. That is why security and responsiveness in banking applications carry weight. To deal with challenges related to security and speed, you will need an effective solution. We understand that you might refrain from using CDN services because of its security concerns. So, Arvancloud provides you with a well-designed, flexible, and safe global network so you can benefit from all features of an efficient CDN without any worries.
Data security is always considered a top priority for banking and financial service providers. In fact, the reason for applying CDN in such businesses is to benefit from its security features. Without any private key, the CDN in Arvancloud makes it possible for banking service providers to make use of Content Delivery Network features with complete security. This strategy is there for you to use our CDN and DDoS Protection, and secure your data while providing a safe and fast platform for your users. Using a large number of PoP sites in high-traffic locations of the world, Arvancloud helps banks speed up their online transactions and websites.
There are two strategies offered in this solution: TCP Load Balancer and Dedicated PoP sites, and both of them can effectively remove challenges and provide security for your customers. With the help of TCP Load Balancing, we can simply pass encrypted TCP traffic through CDN PoP sites without any private key. This feature allows us to distribute TCP traffic among CDN servers and use security features for network layers 3 and 4. On the other hand, the strategy of Dedicated PoP sites is used for providing most of the features such as WAF and layer 7 DDoS protection, so the banks can activate CDN on HTTP traffic without any concerns. In this approach, CDN edge servers will be set up in different locations exclusively based on the incoming traffic of the organization.
Arvancloud provides a free-of-cost global cloud DNS that creates fast responsiveness, stability, and security for banks. The Anycast architecture resolves common Domain Translation issues and responds to users’ DNS requests from the nearest locations. You can benefit from all DNS features including Custom NS, DNSSEC, and reporting in both methods of TCP Load Balancing and Dedicated PoP sites.
With advanced cloud technology, Arvancloud protects your websites and content against all attacks including DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service). Once you choose TCP Load Balancing, all attacks towards DNS and layers 3 and 4 of the network will be neutralized with the help of Anycast and GSLB advanced structures. Yet, if what you need is protection against layer 7 DDoS attacks as well, you should go for Dedicated PoP sites solution.
In order to reach the highest level of security in banking systems, using a firewall and Rate-limit is a must. These features help you apply necessary limitations and have more control over your inbound traffic. The Rate-limit and firewall of Arvancloud manage your website users’ requests and protect your platform APIs based on IPs. This feature is easily available in both strategies of our banking CDN.
The Web Application Firewall in Arvancloud identifies and prevents all basic and advanced attacks. Without any necessary technical knowledge or complicated settings, WAF can mitigate many of the most advanced attacks in the application layer. You can also get the log of these requests in a Near Real Time form. Using WAF requires HTTP traffic flow, so this feature can be accessed only in Dedicated PoP sites solution.
With the features of Load Balancing and Active Health Check in Arvancloud CDN, you can be updated on the health of your main servers and their responsiveness. This way, the problematic server can be identified and moved temporarily out of the cluster. Once Active Health Check identifies such problems, you will be informed by email. This feature is available in both solutions of Banking CDN.
This feature works to guarantee permanent stability in banking and financial services. With more than 40 CDN PoP sites around the world, it delivers your content to the users as fast as possible even during the peak of traffic. Smart Routing automatically identifies the best route for content delivery from a PoP site to the user. This feature can be accessed and adjusted in the TCP Load Balancing solution.
